Past papers, possibly CGP Maths videos (CGP MathsTutor it's called) Very helpful videos. Useful for the damn 5 pound!

Past papers are very helpful! Do a past paper, mark it and then check to see where you have made mistakes. Revise the topics where you have made mistakes and make sure you do plenty more of practice questions from those topics. What exam board are you with?

Good luck!

Page 1 of your exercise book is generally a good place to start...

Grab a past paper, print it out. Attempt it, probably die trying, but continue.
Then mark it.
Note your flaws.
Strong failure topics revise first, and move up the scale
One revised

Do another past paper and try again, but this time, dont fail it. :smile:

Good Luck Bubs

Buy a maths watch CD. They are really good and helpful especially for visual learners. Its what I used. Its just a shame they don't have a CD for A level :/
